Looking for more tech options to support your mental health and wellbeing? Consider checking out a few of these highly recommended apps. All should be downloadable in your app store.
Finch - a more gamified approach to self-care and wellness. You have a little bird (those of you that know what a Tamagotchi is, you will love this!) that you take care of and set goals with. Every day that you meet your goals you earn points. Rated for ages 4+ so you can even recommend it for your kids.
Mindshift - a bit more anxiety focused, but offers you opportunities to check in regularly and based on how you are feeling it will give you brief strategies to cope.
How We Feel App (uses the MoodMeter) - this app is a great way to track your moods throughout the day and overtime. You can then practice strategies to target your most commonly identified moods.


Teachers make the world kinder, smarter, and better—one student at a time. Happy Teacher Appreciation Day!
